573 So. 2d 452

Patrick HOWELL, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

No. 90-1365.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

Feb. 6, 1991.

Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Mallorye Cunningham, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Sylvia Alonso, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

AFFIRMED.

HERSEY, C.J., and GLICKSTEIN, J., concur.

STONE, J., dissents with opinion.

STONE, Judge,

dissenting.

In my judgment, the state failed to meet its burden to demonstrate why appellant’s vehicle was stopped by the police. Therefore, I would reverse the order denying appellant’s motion to suppress. It cannot be determined from this record that the stop was valid, notwithstanding the subsequent discovery of an improper tag display that might have served as a basis for a valid stop.
